Flash: Sonus (SNUS) gets murdered - plummeting over 80%

Sonus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SNUS) logoIn news that shows how dangerous investing in small-cap biotechs can be, Sonus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SNUS) said that its late-stage trials of breast cancer drug Tocosol Paclitaxel have failed.

Sonus shares are down 85%, and are the most actively traded on any US exchange. The stock changes hands at $0.70 down from a 52-week high of $6.32.

Sonus has been something of a one-trick pony. Its revenue has been in the $3 million to $5 million range over each of the last four quarters when it lost $25 million.

With $42 million in cash on the balance sheet, at least the company has some time.
